An incomplete medieval copper alloy strap end plate dating to the period c. AD 1250-1400.

The plate is sub-rectangular in shape, viewed from the front or back and open-ended. There is a rivet hole in the centre of the plate, where a rivet (missing) would have secured the plate to a leather or textile strap. The plate has a grooved linear border on both sides.

Early Medieval (9th century) cast copper alloy strap end.
